Carson River talk and walk featured Aug. 6 at Dayton State Park
The Carson River flows through two states, six counties and several communities before it ends in a “sink” east of Fallon. It is one of few terminal rivers in Nevada, meaning that it will never reach the ocean. Join Nevada State Parks for a short walk along the river for a talk about the challenges surrounding the use and preservation of this precious natural resource.
The walk will be Saturday, August 6, 1 p.m. at Dayton State Park, Picnic Area. 825 US-50, Dayton. The park is 12 miles east of Carson City on US Highway 50.
This event is free after the park’s entrance fee of $7 per vehicle. There is a $2 discount for Nevada residents. We are able to accept cash or checks only.
Participants should wear hiking boots or close-toed walking shoes. No sandals, please. We suggest bringing a hat, sunscreen and plenty of water for this short walk.
